A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
A river of fire flowed out from where he sat, and thousands upon thousands were serving him, with millions more standing in his presence. The court was in session, and the record books were opened.
When God's judgment day comes, the whole heavenly court shows up and every single thing gets brought to light.
